Swing Patrol

Swing Patrol are back for summer 2019, swinging out on Bishops Square! These two hours are all about heading outdoors, getting together as a community, and dancing to our heart’s content.

Best of all it’s FREE! Everyone is welcome to join in, so bring along any interested friends and get involved.

Swing dancing encompasses a varied range of styles danced to big band swing music. The mother of Swing dances is the Lindy Hop, nicknamed the Jitterbug for its bouncy, infectious energy. This is the core dance taught by Swing Patrol, but they also incorporate other vintage dances from the Swing family such as Balboa, Charleston, Blues and Solo Jazz.

2019 Swing Patrol Dates

All events run from 6pm to 8pm

  • Wednesday 31st July
  • Thursday 8th August
  • Wednesday 14th August
  • Thursday 22nd August
  • Wednesday 28th August

About Swing Patrol

Swing Patrol is a community of over 1,500 dancers, a passionate teaching team, four amazing troupes and a small but dedicated team of staff and volunteers.

In addition to the Spitalfields summer evening season Swing Patrol also run:

Over 40 weekly classes at 35 venues across London
